Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an air conditioner, and more particularly to an air conditioner provided with a reheat dehumidification function.
  • An air conditioner forms a refrigerating cycle by connecting an outdoor unit provided with a compressor, an outdoor heat exchanger and the like, and an indoor unit provided with an indoor expansion valve, an indoor heat exchanger and the like by a piping so as to circulate a refrigerant.
  • an air conditioner provided with a so-called reheat dehumidification function of reheating an air cooled and dehumidified by the indoor heat exchanger to a temperature near a room temperature so as to blow in the room under a cooling operation mode.
  • the reheat dehumidification function is achieved by installing a reheat coil within the indoor unit on an upstream side of the indoor expansion valve.
  • each of the outdoor heat exchanger and the reheat coil is operated as a condenser, whereby the air cooled and dehumidified by the indoor heat exchanger is reheated to the temperature near the room temperature on the basis of a heat exchange by the reheat coil.
  • a reheat dehumidification operation and a cooling operation accompanying no reheat and dehumidification are switched by setting a piping bypassing the reheat coil and an indoor electromagnetic valve opening and closing the piping.
  • the reheat coil operates as a part of the condenser, thereby executing the reheat dehumidification operation.
  • the indoor electromagnetic valve is opened, the reheat coil is bypassed, thereby executing the cooling operation accompanying no reheat dehumidification function.
  • JP-A-7-294060 describes a structure provided with a piping bypassing the outdoor heat exchanger, and a regulating valve regulating an amount of a refrigerant flowing through the bypass piping.
  • a piping bypassing the outdoor heat exchanger and a regulating valve regulating an amount of a refrigerant flowing through the bypass piping.
  • JP-A-7-294060 requires the piping bypassing the outdoor heat exchanger, the regulating valve for regulating the amount of the refrigerant flowing through the bypass piping and the like, the refrigeration cycle is complicated. Further, in the conventional structure of the air conditioner provided with the reheat dehumidification function, a necessary amount of refrigerant for the cooling cycle is increased. If the amount of the refrigerant supplied to the cooling cycle is increased in correspondence to this, a surplus refrigerant is generated at a time of a heating operation or the like in which the necessary amount of the refrigerant is small, and there is a case that a compressor damage is caused by liquid-back compression at a start time, which lowers reliability.
  • JP 2005-283058 discloses an air conditioner in which an outdoor unit having a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger and a receiver is connected to an indoor unit having a first indoor heat exchanger, a check valve, an indoor decompression device and a second indoor heat exchanger.
  • the indoor unit is further provided with piping bypassing the first indoor heat exchanger and the check valve.
  • a valve located in the piping allows the air conditioner to be switched from a cooling mode of operation to a reheating dehumidifying mode.
  • An object of the present invention is to control a reheating capacity of the reheat coil on the basis of a simple structure.
  • Another object of the present invention is to improve a reliability by suppressing a necessary amount of a refrigerant at a time of a cooling operation.
  • an air conditioner in which a cooling cycle is formed by arranging an outdoor unit provided with an accumulator, a compressor, a four-way valve and an outdoor heat exchanger, and an indoor unit provided with a first indoor heat exchanger, a check valve, an indoor expansion valve, a second indoor heat exchanger and an indoor electromagnetic valve formed in a piping bypassing the first indoor heat exchanger and the check valve, in a piping circulating a refrigerant, wherein said compressor is provided on an outlet side of said accumulator, for compressing refrigerant from said accumulator; and said air conditioner further comprises a control means for enlarging an opening degree of the indoor expansion valve on the basis of a signal generated by closing of the indoor electromagnetic valve, at a time of a reheat dehumidification operation.
  • the refrigerant in a wet state having an increased rate of liquid refrigerant is circulated to the accumulator as is apparent from a Mollier diagram. Accordingly, since the liquid refrigerant is reserved in the accumulator, and the amount of the refrigerant circulating in the outdoor heat exchanger is reduced, the outdoor heat exchanger comes to a refrigerant lack state. Therefore, since the refrigerant in the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger comes to a two-phase state, and an enthalpy difference in the first indoor heat exchanger corresponding to the reheat coil is increased, it is possible to improve the reheating capacity of the reheating device.
  • control means for enlarging an opening degree of the indoor expansion valve since an amount of a reduced pressure of the refrigerant in the indoor expansion valve becomes smaller by enlarging the opening degree of the indoor expansion valve, an evaporating pressure in the second indoor heat exchanger corresponding to the evaporator comes to a high pressure, and an evaporating temperature becomes higher. Accordingly, a heat quantity exchanged by the second indoor heat exchanger becomes smaller, and the refrigerant circulating to the accumulator comes to the refrigerant in the wet state having the increased rate of the liquid cooling medium.
  • the liquid refrigerant is reserved in the accumulator in the same manner as mentioned above, and the outdoor heat exchanger comes to the refrigerant lack state. Therefore, since the refrigerant in the outlet of the outdoor heat exchanger comes to the two-phase state, and the enthalpy difference in the first indoor heat exchanger corresponding to the reheat coil is increased, it is possible to improve the reheating capacity of the reheating device. In other words, it is possible to control the reheating capacity of the reheat coil on the basis of the simple structure which is not provided with the piping bypassing the outdoor heat exchanger, the regulating valve for regulating the amount of the refrigerant flowing through the bypass piping, and the like.
  • an air conditioner in which a cooling cycle is formed by arranging an outdoor unit provided with an accumulator, a compressor, a four-way valve, an outdoor heat exchanger and an outdoor expansion valve, and an indoor unit provided with a first indoor heat exchanger, a check valve, an indoor expansion valve, a second indoor heat exchanger and an indoor electromagnetic valve formed in a piping bypassing the first indoor heat exchanger and the check valve, in a piping circulating a refrigerant, wherein said compressor is provided on an outlet side of said accumulator, for compressing refrigerant from said accumulator; and said air conditioner further comprises a control means for controlling an opening degree of the indoor expansion valve on the basis of a signal generated by closing of the indoor electromagnetic valve, at a time of a reheat dehumidification operation, and controlling an opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve on the basis of a signal generated by opening of the indoor electromagnetic valve, at a time of a cooling operation.
  • the indoor electromagnetic valve when the indoor electromagnetic valve is open, the first indoor heat exchanger is bypassed, and the cooling operation accompanying no reheat and dehumidification is executed, however, a part of the refrigerant is circulated to the first indoor heat exchanger side. Accordingly, a part of the refrigerant under the low-pressure two-phase state is circulated to the first indoor heat exchanger by controlling the opening degree of the outdoor expansion valve provided on an upstream side of the first indoor heat exchanger so as to reduce the pressure of the cooling medium.
  • the first indoor heat exchanger serves as the evaporator in place of the reheat coil by employing the structure mentioned above, the reservation of the liquid refrigerant is not generated. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress the necessary amount of the refrigerant at a time of the cooling operation, and it is possible to improve the reliability.
